The handy Lifestraw Max High-Flow Water Purifier ($650) is there to supply clean water whenever you need — and at scale. The system removes viruses, bacteria, parasites and microplastics from water without the need for electricity, battery power or chemicals. It’s portable, compact and capable of providing drinking water to over 400 people per day.

A New Watch From Garmin

The all-new Lily 2 ($250) is a sleek and stylish smartwatch that’s right-sized for a smaller wrist. It has most of the trappings you’d expect from a Garmin watch — heart rate and sleep monitoring, Bluetooth connectivity, five days of battery live and fitness tracking — but is unexpectedly trendy. It’s available in six colors and either a silicon, nylon or leather band.

Cold Fingers Be Gone

The Forge heated glove ($400) from Gordini is here to save you from the upcoming cold snap. These smart gloves not only steadily heat your precious extremities, but they do it in real time. The gloves can be programmed with the app and automatically take the users body temperature in order to maintain a cozy level of warmth.

A New Tablet From Amazon

The brand new Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet ($140) has arrived, and the price is right. It has a full HD screen, 32GB of storage and its thin, lightweight design makes it easy to hold while reading at night and a no-brainer for throwing in your bag wherever you go. It’s also 25% faster than the 11th-generation model and has a 5 MP front-facing camera for better selfies and video chats.

Alo Is Making Moves

Alo Yoga, once known solely for its clothing, has been steadily establishing itself as a holistic wellness space company. Now, the brand has released yet another new offering: supplements. Pick up a 60-pack of the ‘Chill Capsule’ ($42) that’s designed to help you ‘downshift, beat stress and bliss out.’ That sounds pretty good to us. Other supplements include the Superfood Multivitamin ($42) and the Energy Pop Capsule ($42).
